Cycling is essential, so today we rented four e-bikes in Zwiesel and followed a suggestion from the friendly rental company employee. Highlights included the Frauenau drinking water reservoir, the beautiful Buchenau Castle, and the absolutely rustic Schwellhäusl beer garden. It was also a bit shady, a feast for forest lovers.

1st "mountainous" stage with my wife. Nice long climbs, technically not too demanding, since the ground is always paved. Very nice rest stop in Schleicher.
